"Live Better America recipe.. .that I modified to my liking. The original recipe called for making a hummus out of 3/4 cup bean, 1.5 tsp spicy brown mustard and 1/4 tsp salad and then spread the hummus inside of the pita. .however I don't every have luck with spreading anything in a pita, so I just threw the beans in with the veggies and it turned out wonderful that way. Last time I made this I also added some leftover pencil thin asparagus which was a great addition."
